Huacheng, Huachuan Grand Theater.

This theater is one of the largest and most famous five theaters in Hwaseong. It is the first professional theater in China that mainly performs dramas. , grand in scale, gorgeous and fine.

Countless classic works have been staged on this stage, and countless national treasure-level drama actors have appeared here in turn, performing all kinds of living beings.And what will be premiered here today is also an extremely classic play - Shakespeare's "King Lear".

The nearly four-hour drama will officially begin at 02:30 pm.The audience picked up tickets half an hour in advance and entered the arena one after another, walked through the open hall, went up the stairs on both sides, entered the main theater and found their seats to sit down.

After checking the tickets, Chen Jiahan walked slightly, hummed a song, found a seat and sat down, put away the ticket stubs, turned the mobile phone to silent, and put the satchel on his lap safely.After finishing all this, she leaned back relaxedly, touched the binoculars hanging on her chest, and looked like a big brother who said "I'm ready, you can start anytime".

The performance has not yet officially started, and the chandelier in the theater casts a warm yellow light.After all, Chen Jiahan was not very old, and after sitting in a serious manner for a while, Chen Jiahan began to feel bored. When he took a quick photo of the ticket stub with his mobile phone, a deep man's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Excuse me, can I go over here?"

"Oh, good!" She subconsciously retracted her feet and shrunk back before raising her eyes to look at the speaker.

This is a middle-aged man in his early forties, putting the ticket stubs in his pocket as he walked.

He is tall, with a straight back, wearing a standard three-piece suit, looks elegant and refined, full of style.

What's more, the man's position happened to be right next to Chen Jiahan, so she seized the opportunity to take another look.I don't know why, but the uncle's tough features and sharp demeanor gave her an inexplicably familiar feeling, but she couldn't tell where she had seen him.

A vague thought popped up, but it was as untouchable as if separated by a layer of glass.Chen Jiahan pouted and cried and thought for a long time, but it was because it was not polite to stare at people all the time, so she finally shook her head and gave up.

All the ceiling lights suddenly went dark, the conductor appeared on the other side of the stage, and the curtain was slowly opened.As the magnificent classical music sounded, the attendants and the two princesses in Chinese costumes walked out slowly and stood still after standing on both sides. Their elderly father, King Lear, wearing a crown hat and a golden red robe, came to the stage Central, accept worship.

Chen Jiahan sat up straight while supporting the armrests, and devoted all her mind to the dramatic performance in front of her.

Above the hall in the palace, King Lear was discussing the issue of land distribution with his three daughters, and he asked his children to answer which of the three loved him the most.King Lear will give the greatest favor to the most virtuous and filial daughter among the three daughters.

Aged and dizzy, he married his youngest daughter who told the truth to another country, and divided the land equally between the other two daughters who were good at talking and talking. He thought he had made the most correct decision, but gradually he found that he was being neglected and neglected.

King Lear was more aware of the seriousness of this problem in the hall of the Duke of Albany's mansion. He urged his attendants to find the court jester who usually made him happy, and beat his daughter and subordinate who disrespected him. When King Er rewarded the loyal Kent for standing out for him, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.

"Let me hire him too! Here's my chicken head hat!"

When the lights were turned on, a jerk with exaggerated clown makeup, a slightly hunched back, and funny costumes appeared on the stage. As soon as he appeared on the stage, the people around him were very happy.

King Lear welcomed him with open arms, he nimbly slipped through the space under his armpits, stood in front of Kent in small steps, and said that he would give him his flamboyant clown hat.The tone is exaggerated, and the body movements are rich and funny, satirizing Kent as a clown who makes people happy.

Speaking illogical and unreasonable words, others regarded him as a crazy fool, but he recited ballads to scold the king and Kent for being stupid, and the characters were vivid in laughing and cursing.

King Lear, raped and expelled by his eldest daughter and second daughter, was exiled in the wilderness in a storm.And when the old king wrestled with the wrath of nature, there was only the fool, with his funny hat, at his side.

Lightning and thunderstorms, when the torrential rain is torrential, the funny and funny body language, the straightforward and sharp language, shouting "You are unlucky, don't hate the Lord", set off with the sad and angry King Lear, the picture Full of tension.

However, when the exiled King Lear finally repented, such a character who was sometimes serious, sometimes mocking, sometimes sympathetic, and sometimes on the sidelines, suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sentence "I'm going to sleep at noon." , never appeared again.

During the intermission, there was only a slight noise of walking in the huge space, and the whole hall seemed to be still immersed in the performance just now.

The second half took a more tragic turn.

The youngest daughter, Cordelia, and the prince formed an army to help King Lear try to take back the country but failed. In the end, he was captured and secretly hanged. King Lear also died in grief and indignation holding her body.

After a short period of silence, the audience applauded thunderously, and all the actors came to the stage to call the curtain one by one amidst the cheers.

The jerk who was slightly hunched just now still wore a funny clown hat, but he became taller and sharper when he played this time.He stood behind a group of seniors and applauded. The messy makeup on his face hadn't been removed yet, and he smiled so hard that his eyes curled up.

The curtain fell slowly, but the applause did not stop. Chen Jiahan was still staring at the front for a long time, unable to regain his senses, until there was a faint movement around him.

The uncle beside him stopped clapping his hands. Under the dim light, he seemed to shake his head and chuckled. Then he buttoned up his suit, straightened the hem of his clothes, stood up and left quietly.

Other audience members also began to leave the stage one after another. Chen Jiahan grabbed her bag amidst the crowd, trotted against the flow of people, and ran into the backstage of the actors with a license.

The backstage was bustling, everyone applauded each other and laughed to celebrate the success of the premiere.She stood at the door looking around on her feet, picked up the binoculars and looked around, and finally found the fool who had just stood up in the crowd.

He was talking to the staff in front of him with his head down. The costumes on his body had been replaced. He wore a gray sweater and black slacks. His broad shoulders and slender figure made the clothes look very nice and refreshing. heroism.

This scene seems to coincide with the scene where Chen Jiahan saw Xu Chen for the first time in the school auditorium two years ago.

In the nearly two months that he disappeared from the public eye, he was not busy signing a contract, nor was he busy traveling and vacationing. Instead, he went back to acting in dramas with zero publicity.

"Brother Xu!" After they finished speaking, Chen Jiahan immediately shouted excitedly, and waved to him with his arms stretched out.

Xu Chen turned his head and saw a young girl trotting in, frowned and said, "Don't worry in crowded places..."

As soon as the word "run" was out of the mouth, people had already come in front of him.

"Forgot." Chen Jiahan stuck out her tongue, but she didn't look embarrassed at all, but immediately said excitedly: "The rehearsal of this play is so beautiful!! I didn't blink my eyes the whole time!!"

"Also, Brother Xu, I almost didn't recognize you when you appeared on stage!" She pointed to the telescope in her hand, "I only believed it when I saw your face with this magnification!"

Xu Chen pointed to the makeup that hadn't been removed in time, and said, "I'm wearing clown makeup."

"No, no..." Chen Jiahan was a little at a loss for words, she couldn't describe the feeling, it was like a completely different person, there was no trace of Xu Chen himself in the person, the expression of language and body movements, It's exactly that clown fool who lives in the court and makes fun of it.

"Oh, brother Xu, you're really good at acting! I'll give you 150 points!"

"So tall?" Xu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "For this evaluation, I'll take you to dinner after taking off my makeup."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Jiahan hastily agreed, and followed Xu Chen to his makeup booth.As soon as I got closer, I saw a very beautiful big flower basket next to the seat. I was stunned for a few seconds, and then exclaimed angrily: "It's over! I forgot to buy everything!"

"Brother Xu, wait, I'll buy it for you now!"

As he said that, he turned around and went out.

"Hey, hey, hey... there's no need to go."

Xu Chen stretched out his hand to stop her, and patted the back of her head lightly: "It's okay, you came here to support my premiere."

"Who gave this... Really, it stole the limelight from me, the president of the support club!"

Chen Jiahan groaned and flipped the card on the flower blue, and when he saw the six thin and strong characters "Congratulations on the success of the performance", he also reacted, curled his lips and said, "Such a beautiful word must be a small one." Sent by Feige."

Xu Chen smiled with the corners of his mouth bent: "Yeah."

"Then why didn't you see him?" Chen Jiahan looked around, "Is Brother Xiaofei here?"

Xu Chen shook his head: "He is on a business trip to Star City."

"Remember to send such a beautiful Hualan when you are on a business trip. Brother Xiaofei is really a loyal fan of Brother Xu, the kind who is stronger than me!" Chen Jiahan is still immersed in inexplicable sour emotions and the title of president may not be guaranteed. In the panic, he didn't lock the door for a moment.

"You don't even know that he only followed you on Weibo."

Xu Chen took off his makeup and asked, "Does he have a private Weibo?"

With Ji Fei's character, Xu Chen always felt that he was the kind of person who would only use Bohua's official Weibo account to go online, check real-time trending searches to understand the situation, and then finish the job, so he never thought about the private account, so he Always forgot to ask.

"Yup......"

Chen Jiahan nodded, lowered his head and took out his mobile phone from his bag, and said, "He's in your Weibo fan group, brother Xiao Xu, but he has never spoken to him."

"And oh, this account was registered nine years ago, and I haven't posted a single Weibo until now, as expected of Brother Xiao Fei."

Hearing this rant, Xu Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing, and jokingly said, "It would be strange if he wasn't very active."

"That's right." Chen Jiahan nodded, and after clicking on Ji Fei's Weibo homepage, he handed the phone to Xu Chen.

The ID name of the account was a bit strange, it was called "Can I get a star today", but Xu Chen didn't have time to think about it before he was attracted by the profile picture, and the corner of his mouth curled up even more.

Different from the simple WeChat avatar, the homepage avatar and background image of this private account are actually Xu Chen's photos, truly living like a fan account.

How can it be so cute.

He felt as if he had been scratched hundreds of times by a kitten's paw, and when he was about to click on WeChat to tease his junior, he suddenly heard someone calling his name: "Xu Chen, there is a lady named Xue looking for you here."

"Say it's related to some movie project."
